trump: i don't wear masks like him. he could be speaking to hundred feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask i have ever seen. amy: for months, president trump has downplayed the severity of the pandemic which has killed over 206,000 americans. prpres. trump: i think it is unr control. dying0 americans are today. pres. trumump: that is true. it is what it is. but that d doesn't m mean we a e doing everything we can. it i is under control as much as you can control it. this is a horrible plague that beset us. amy: we will speak to two leading doctors and look at how the news could reshape the presidential race. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy nowow!, democracynow.org, the quarantine report. i'm amy goodman. president donald trump has announced he and first lady melania trump have covid-19, joining 7.3 million people across the united states who've tested positive for the novel coronavirus since the first recorded u.s. case in january. just before 1:00 a.m. friday, trump tweeted -- "tonight, @flo

after trump -- after the trump rally ended. hundreds of people including older americans and children were stranded in subzero freezing temperatures for hours. several folks ended up in the hospital. it's an image that captures president trump's whole approach to this crisis. he takes a lot of big pronouncements, he makes a lot of big pronouncements, but they don't hold up. he gets his photo op and then he gets out. he leaves everyone else to suffer the consequence of his failure to make a responsible plan. it seems like he just doesn't care much about it. and the longer he's in charge the more reckless he gets. it's enough. it's time to change. >> according to cnn.com, after the rally police officers tried to control the scene but struggled to bring order to the pandemonium. there were no campaign advance teams in sight. one local advance volunteer said they were given no instructions how to get supporters back onto the buses. "we need at least 30 more buses," an omaha police officer said, shaking his head. and so the trump de

world who has seen trump tax returns because when donald trump sued him for telling the truth about him and tim o'brien won the lawsuit, in discovery he got to see some trump tax returns. the lawsuit was then settled and silence agreements were entered into, so he hasn't ever been able to really talk about them, but he's learning -- i think he's learning something in "the new york times" reporting on trump tax returns tonight that donald trump of course, of course, has a checking account in china and has been desperately trying to do business in china for -- for many years. and some of his financial entanglements in china are now being reported by "the new york times" tonight. >> right. he extracted millions of dollars in cash from china -- from chinese and chinese government-linked sources just in the first year that he was serving as president and had a chinese bank account and, oh, by the way, biden's the one who's soft on china. it's just, i mean, every day, every day it's something unbelievable. >> yeah, it's something -- >> every day. >> it's something new for thursday night's

you are a loyal trump campaigner.rikes me that, when you are in a position like yours, there is a fine line to tread between optimism and realism. in the spirit of realism can you acknowledge to me that the trump campaign is in deep trouble? well, i would say this, it is a tough competitive race but we know that last time, 2016, we went into election day having hardly won a single poll. i think something is going on in polls. i've read lots of them, not just for presidential races but for my own races and many other candidates‘ and they have been wrong many, many times. i am not saying they are not useful but they are not 100% reliable. so as i look back at 2016 i think here we are again. but another thing, stephen, is if you look at where isjoe biden spending his time, and he is in the same states as we are — arizona, pennsylvania, north carolina, florida, ohio — the so—called swing states. if he had the double digit leads which some outlets are reporting that he has, he would not be going to those states, instead he

that is a trump advantage group. 59% trump to 36% biden. that shows you donald trump's path to re-election is turning out a massive electorate on tuesday because tuesday's in-person voting are designed to be his supporters. >> a clear indication that president trump saying any ballot that is not cast on election day should not be count because he doesn't want biden's votes to count. which group are leaning biden and where might president trump have an advantage. >> the gender gap we are talking about all year in this case continues to astound. among likely female voters biden 61%. trump 37%. among voters of color, you see biden at 71%, donald trump at 24%. among seniors, a group that donald trump won by seven points nationally in 2016, he is down 11. 55% biden and 44% trump. i do want to go back and just show you where we are as it relates to men, okay? they split almost evenly. 47% biden and 48% trump. so while joe biden has a huge lead with women, donald trump doesn't compensate for that deficit by making it up with men. they are basicall

polls, trump is only up 12 points. we also see biden performing better among people ages 65 and older. we are seeing that trump is still winning among people --white people without college degrees, but his lead has shrunk based on the polling data in 2020. host: chris in canton, ohio, supporting the biden-harris ticket. caller: i appreciate you taking my call. there has a lot that has been said this morning. kim hit a lot of it, the caller before, for mr. biden. i think the president sets the tone for the country. look andpeaks, people hear, and they pick up on a lot of that rhetoric that he spills out and then says, oh, i did not mean that or i was joking. know? it started with his inauguration with the american carnage speech. i thought we were living in a third world country when i heard that speech. now i feel like we are in american carnage now. issues that he don't agree with. the alternative sex came into view. he reversed obama policies. a majority of the democrats and republicans i know in our neighborhood, we

—— donald trump is unfit.sts. people like ben sasse say that if your party sticks with trump over the next, let's face it, you are bound to him now, you're tied him, it is going to be in ben sasse's words, disastrous for you at the polls. it could see you taking a terrible beating and us congress, not just in the white house.” beating and us congress, not just in the white house. i am ploughed our party is big enough to have critics in the family. ben sasse's has always been one that has consistently been one that has consistently been won. he likes that independent streak. we will see the same thing about democrats as well stop one of the things as well stop one of the things a load of over mate 22 years of service, as if you want to be a hero criticise the institution and criticise your colleague and criticise your colleague and then you are always the darling of the press for the day or the darling of the other party. that's unfortunate. but here is what we do know under donald trump, when he assumed office

trump. the unconventional, unpredictable businessman was no different in his first term. >> proud of the extraordinary progress over the last four incredible years. >> reporter: shattering norms. >> it is completely disruptive and different than anything you've ever seen before. >> reporter: breaking boundaries. >> he would turn on them in a really aggressive way. in a way that i'd never seen or heard of presidents doing before. >> reporter: and demolishing expectations and behavior for a president of the united states. >> does working for president trump ultimately mean you have to agree with him all the time? if you want to keep your job. >> reporter: a president who seems to thrive in division. >> donald trump! >> he's a racist! >> donald trump! >> he's a racist! >> reporter: whether those who hate him or celebrate him. a look now at the moments that defined president donald j. trump's first term. the issues he vowed to tackle. >> build that wall! >> repeal and replace obamacare. >> these

democrats are motivated to president trump and republicans are supporting president trump. you are right. donald trump can win. that's not a question for me. the question is, looking at all the past two the 270 electoral college votes, who has more paths? at this point it's joe biden. that's just following polling and numbers. the argument might be well the polling was wrong in 2016. but when you look at most of the polling in 2016, it was accurate. if you look at the national polling averages from 20, where there were polls, for the most part, they were accurate. and in the midwestern states, where support was underestimated, pollsters have for the most part been trying to go in and adjust their mistake. keep in mind that they get paid when they do their job correctly. they are going back and making sure that they get hired again in order to make sure that they actually have these numbers right. you said, i'm think of when play monopoly and all you need is to not get two sixes are all you want is two sixes, that's absolutely possible. and it's a possibility for trump to en

president trump said not much. nothing you can think of that could have helped some people keep their loved ones alive? >> as you can see, the strongest and most passionately we have seen him speak of all this. also, then bringing up president trump's finances and a "new york times" report that president trump has a chinese bank account. here's president obama. >> as it turns out, this was just reported in the last 48 hours. we know that he continues to do business with china because he's got a secret chinese bank account. how is that possible? how is that possible? a secret chinese bank account. listen, can you imagine if i had had a secret chinese bank account when i was running for re-election? you think -- you think fox news might have been a little concerned about that? they would have called me beijing barry. >> well, the former president turning to the importance of this election and its effect on america's democracy. >> our democracy is not going to work if the people who are supposed to be our leaders lie

>> president donald trump: you're gonna be fair. >> stahl: are you g-- >> president trump: just be- >stahl: i'm gonna be fair. >> president trump: just be fair. >> stahl: but you're okay with some tough questions? >> president trump: no, i'm not. i mean-- >> stahl: (laugh) you're not okay with tough questions? >> president trump: i want 'em to be fair. you-- you don't ask biden tough questions. >> president trump: okay. are you ready-- >> stahl: you ready? everybody ready? so we have the pandemic. on your watch, we've had racial strife, we've had looting. why do you want this job? why do you want to be president again? >> president trump: because we've done a great job and it's not finished yet. and when i finish, this country will be in a position like it hasn't been maybe ever. the economy is already roaring back. and other people aren't gonna bring it back, certainly the person that we're dealing with is not gonna bring it back. they're gonna raise taxes. >> stahl: let me ask you what you think your-- the biggest domestic priority is for you right now. >> president trump: well-- >>

and trump is not by trying to shake trump support to this the by persuading enough dissolutions republicans and undecided voters to back joe by. the lincoln project has a dedicated aami of staff and volunteers churning out. some of them quite ruthless like this one on donald trump's health we're not doctors we're not blind it's time we talk about this trial is not. and then there was this playing on trump's paranoia about disloyal members of his own administration because he got a loyalty problem proctoring your campaign or. your white house right now asking congress to pass even your own family the family but there that really caught the attention of trump himself was this one and under the leadership of the. donald trump our country's weaker and sicker and. if we have another 4 years like this will there even be. trump went on a midnight twitter rant attacking the links and projects we are not people who are posh we are not people who who get up in the morning think oh i wonder if i'm going to offend someone so we don't hear there is a policy objective to trolling donald trump little hors

a lot of the trump voters feel like trump is the only one who hears them. a lot of them don't vote, in the past they haven't voted. that's another factor to keep your eye on tuesday night. people who have not voted before showing up the first time. trump people tell you rallies of 25% attending who never voted before. long-term i think donald trump is building and has built a new coalition for the republican party. that's working people and african-americans. opportunity zones. the platinum deal and black colleges and criminal justice reform and police reform. barack obama and joe never got this done. >> the president expanded the republican party into the working class direction. the democrats now have the college graduates. the 2 parties are switching bases. the problem is republicans have lost a lot of the suburbans and college educated women. that's a group republicans need to win back. i love the fact that the president is growing the party in a blue collar direction. also if the african-american vote jumps the way we expect it to go, it's a wonderful

the people who are pro-trump are really pro-trump, and some of the people who are not for trump kind of don't really want to get into it as much it seems to me. >> right. i was driving earned bucks county, pennsylvania, yesterday and counting the number of signs. every time i thought biden was ahead, there was another crop. trump signs. these are anecdotes, right? there is no real data we can use about signs. we can't resist the count, can't resist watching this. ann, you have a global perspective. you are coming from outside of the united states. i want to see your view inside the u.s. of this present situation. a lot of liberals in the u.s. feel like the press has been tilted towards trump even though the coverage is very critical most of the time because we are constantly talking about him. that means he is winning. how do you see it? >> oh, i am not sure that talking about him all the time means he is winning. you know, we saw what was the result of the first debate. remember it seemed to trump he was winning that debate and he seemed to say so afterwards because he was dominatin

also a trump supporter. and david plouffe was a senior adviser to barack obama as candidate and as president and helped him prepare for debates. he's a biden supporter and nbc news analyst. thanks to both of you for joining us. hugh, let me first start with you and pick up on the vice president really going after senator harris on this issue of packing the court. was that, in your view, his strongest moment? and what will the effect be? >> one of three. fracking, fracking, fracking, for the pennsylvanians out there watching and wondering, the supreme court being packed which is exactly what president trump brought up to vice president biden last week. the republicans would like to underscore the radical agenda. in the end when they talked about amy coney barrett and the president got in an uninterrupted minute and a half, building of a fence around judge barrett that she not be attacked about her religious faith, about people of praise, that the dogma lives deeply within her. vice president brought up senato

that gets trump to 270. >> yeah. >> that's what it looked like they were going to do. and yes, still a focus, but that's why it's surprising they're going to wisconsin and michigan and why he went to new hampshire. that doesn't make sense. >> by the way, pennsylvania makes no sense. again, you look at the private polling, forget the public polling. the private polling has donald trump down double digits in new hampshire. why is he going to new hampshire? if you -- and by the way -- >> maybe he thinks his presence is so alluring he will pull people over to his side. >> if you're a republican, if you see any donald trump in any state other than pennsylvania, arizona, florida or north carolina, it's a scatter shot approach. he's not -- he's not giving himself a chance to get to 270. arizona, florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, that gets him to 270. when the trump people behind the scenes are admitting that these states are gone where he's still campaigning, new hampshire being one of them, why is he still go

to the trump coalition. that's why he got imp peaeached >> this reminds me of the late seasons of "the apprentice" when it wasn't working anymore, wasn't entertaining anymore. the thing peopleapprentice" ill donald trump wasn't in "the apprentice" that much. i didn't watch. most of the show was omarosa and them doing a task. they did a whole thing, they came in at the end, he came in and said "you're fired." >> he was the charlie angels figure. >> he was the charlie angels guy. for the first time a lot of americans who only knew him from "the apprentice" are experiencing him full-time 24 hours a day and don't like it. >> i will say, counterpoint, in 2016 at this point in the race, everybody's talking right now about how much more money joe biden has than donald trump has and joe biden is absolutely more than lapping trump in terms of money. trump had no money at this point in the race in 2016. >> yeah. >> he was below $20 million in terms of his campaign war chest at this point in the campaign in 2016. cle c

president trump put america first.e's going to put jobs first and we are going to take care of our environment and follow the science. >> senator harris: on the issue of jobs, let's talk about that. the vice president earlier referred to part of what he thinks in the accomplishment. the presidents trade war with china. you lost that trade war. you lost it. what ended up happening is because of a so-called trade war with china, america lost 300,000 manufacturing jobs. farmers have experienced bankruptcy because of it. we are in a manufacturing recession because of it. when we look at where this administration has been, there are estimates that by the end of the term of this administration, they will have lost more jobs than almost any other presidential administration. the american people know what i'm talking about. you know. i think about 20-year-olds, we have a 20-year-old. twentysomething. they are coming out of high school and college and you're wondering, is there going to be a job for me? we are looking at people

welker: president trump. pres. trump: i was kidding on that. to finish this, when i closed, he said i should not have closed, and that went on for months. nancy pelosi was dancing in the streets in chinatown in san francisco. he said this is a terrible thing, you are a xenophobe, i think he called me racist. now he says i should have closed it earlier. mr. biden: i did not say either of those things. i talked about his xenophobia in a different context, not about closing the border to chinese coming to the united states. ms. welker: i want to talk about your different strategies. pres. trump: he thought i should not have closed the border. ms. welker: let's talk about your different strategies towards dealing with this. you said you would support shutdowns if scientists recommended it. what you say to americans who fear the cost on the economy, depression, domestic substance abuse outweighs exposure to the virus? mr. biden: i would say i will shut down the virus and not the country. it is his ineptitude to shut down in large part, why businesse

and that's an absolute joke you know we know donald trump is a racist i think everybody knows don't trump is a racist and it's not hard to say you don't have to do a bunch of research to see that they said he says the things that he does read books that absolutely show that the guy is absolutely as dirty as it gets that's michael her and so unsurprisingly that's michael cohen is actually i should say that's michael cohen's book actually in pastor darrell scott memoir he says michael cohen had nothing to do with the president had nothing to do with the campaign and is exaggerating his his alliances with the president i think at pastor's been eating too much pixie dust. ok but you know perfectly well from the vice presidential debate that that when when harris was confronted by mike pence who said that as attorney general she disproportionately had it at the black community the african-american community in california as attorney general her only reply was it's her work as a model of what our nation needs to do and we will be able to do under joe biden presidency what does that mean disprop

trump trump-pence to make up hin signing ceremony. he announces wendy and would come to the white house, a big deal, a lot of fun will announce a new transportation policy,, we're going to privatize the faa. the congressional leaders all line up behind and it does the whole signing ceremony as if he was playing present because, in fact, he was, and so sure enough he goes through the motions and a smile for the cameras. next day the policies effectively gone. congresses were not privatizing the faa and whole thing was a nothing. i was all for sure because they were just pretended to be governing which is what i call them the imposters. >> it's all aesthetics and away. at a trial probably one of the most amazing things is when trump always talks about sort of three-quarters into his speech he talks about healthcare and he talks about we will never take away your healthcare, and we will never get rid of pre-existing conditions, when the gop is suing to get rid of the affordable care act whose central policy is pre-existing, making sure t

i want to focus on the trump strategy. you had melania trump and in pab pab. nebraska bleeds over to western iowa. why the focus in the midwest? it's pretty simple. we broke through the blue walls back in 2016 and that led to his victory. it's also a math issue. take a look at the gold states. these are all toss-up states at this moment. say you give president trump arizona where joe biden is leading. say you give him nevada which democrats held in 2016 and joe biden is leading right now. he's still above 270 electoral vote mark. what it means for the trump's campaign why you see them in the pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, iowa and ohio as well. there is no path to 270 on this map for president trump and his re-election that doesn't include at least pennsylvania, wisconsin or michigan. there are a couple different pathways for the trump campaign, all of them include one of those states. >> why was joe biden in georgia today? >> joe biden laid it out perfectly, would you expect that a democratic candidate would be in a state that is they have not won since 1

trump himself. "the new york times" consulted a tax law professor at new york university school of law who raised legal questions about the $21 million. unless the payments were for actual business expenses, he said, claiming a tax deduction for them would be illegal. if they were not legitimate and were also used to fund mr. trump's presidential run, they could be considered illegal campaign contributions. joining us is glenn kirschner, a former prosecutor and msnbc legal analyst. glenn, as i was reading that story i was wondering what does a federal prosecutor see in that reporting by "the new york times." >> good evening, lawrence. and you can't draw a definitive conclusion based on the reporting that donald trump committed potentially more tax felonies, tax evasion, campaign finance violations, just as you can't look at a tax return in isolation or in a vacuum and conclude that somebody committed crimes. you have to look at all of the underlying financial documents. you have to run collateral in

just talking to trump supporters and biden supporters, trump did not lose anybody because maybe they not like the interrupting, i thought there were too many interruptions but they will stick with him, joe biden may have left the left wing of the party to the side and we already did not trust them, the aoc wing, remember he did not sign a pact with bernie sanders which he did and he did now's the green new deal which he originally supported, in alien in the bernie bros and that could be a problem because he needs those votes ever talking about one versus the other in a fight and only has half a base, donald trump wins. liz: that was a striking moment when he rejected bernie sanders saying i beat him by a lot claiming he's not for the green new deal when it's on his own campaign website as a structural framework for what his thinking is, the president is getting criticized by republicans like rick for making a mistake, missing an easy layup, he started to and began but he did not condemn enough white supremacist, abc news did note that biden was wrong and trump did condemn white supre

and trump have both tested positive for covert 19 that followed news that trump's top aide hope picks a contract with the virus the day before will bring in i guess in a moment but 1st this report from rob reynolds the news came in a late night tweet from the white house president donald trump wrote tonight the 1st lady and i tested positive for covert 19 we will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately we will get through this together it is not known how despite elaborate precautions and constant testing of white house officials the white house press corps and others in contact with trump the president contracted the virus. but earlier one of trump's top aides hope hicks was confirmed to have tested positive hicks accompanied the president to the debate in cleveland ohio on tuesday trump phoned in to a fox television program earlier on thursday and talked about hicks having been exposed it's a tough kind of a situation it's a terrible bank so i just want to protest and we'll see what happens i mean who knows the white house physician sean conley said trump and the 1st l

donald trump defends his. job. done days ahead so how is cope with 19 shaping the presidential race in the u.s. and he's. been saying this is inside story. hello welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump and democratic party nominee joe biden have held their 2nd and final debate less than 2 weeks before the election the threat of having them back with phones muted laws due to interruptions making for a less chaotic event than the fast that still spawns about the coronavirus response racism in america and accused of corruption will bring in our panel of guests to discuss this but 1st this report from our white house correspondent. it was a stark contrast from the 1st debate fewer interruptions and more substantial discussion with the 2 presidential hopefuls donald trump and joe biden who most respected the rules the moderator even earned a rare compliment from the u.s. president so far i respect very much the way you handle it this. the debate opened with a disagreement over the handling of the covert pand

i'm so donald trump values here as you will continue to believe in donald trump because trump believes that you. may value c.d.'s and c.d.n. may value the access to press but that doesn't mean he has any value in the news it's got you started and that is coming from someone pushing not 10 years before fox news came on the scene we wrote the playbook for conservative news we call the t.v. news with a different spirit and all it was was an attempt to insert conservative propaganda into the news i am convinced this is a nation under god in the end the right wing news is only a propaganda it's not news and there's no attempt to be for unbiased and i think it's gone so far now that the public isn't aware of that but that's still what we create blame me i'm the one who has is saying i don't want to play gotcha journalism i think there's plenty of place in the news space today where you're going to hear that what is missing i think in the landscape is well what is it that they're really trying to say what is that an edited version. sometimes that's on a little version comes directly from god

the trump coalition.road message to the trump coalition, or is this the hardening of the trump base? >> i think it's the hardening of his base. what the heck else is going to campaign on? is it covid, the economy? racism is all he's got. so i don't think there's a lot there. without racism, the emperor has no clothes. >> and such a scary thought. aisha, i guess one variable here is she's a sitting members of congress. they're chanting lock her up about a sitting members of congress. >> well, we know decency and respect certainly for rule of law, but for other people isn't a donald trump thing and it's not what his craw cares about. i think it's perfect for his base because they want to be anti establishment, they want to take down people they don't like and frankly, they feel they're above the law. they're so beyond decorum that they feel they can break everything down and set up new rules. in this case, who cares about congress? who cares about these institutions that have shaped this nation since almost

>> reporter: and it wasn't only about trump. obama urging americans to get out and vote. >> there were a whole bunch of polls last time. didn't work out. because a whole bunch of folks stayed at home and got lazy and complacent. not this time. not in this election. >> reporter: president obama will go to miami on saturday to continue campaigning for the biden/harris ticket. in the meantime, vice president biden, president trump both added here to nashville for tonight's final debate, john. that starts at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >> obviously, we'll be watching that debate very, very closely. jessica dean, thank you so much. as we said, the pandemic should be topic number one, two, and three at the debate tonight. and breaking news, a new report just published out of columbia university says that between 130,000 and 210,000 deaths could have been prevented if there had been stronger leadership from this white house. that is a staggering number. nearly 63,000 new coronavirus cases were reported overnight. more than 40,000 americans now

trump?> there really is no math. he really has to win here to have any chance of being president. >> why it matters, for biden. >> this is the most important election in our lifetime. >> and for trump. >> my administration is focused on delivering real results. >> how would you describe this part of florida? >> 10,000 kilowatts of red state debate. >> tonight, "divided we stand: inside america's anger." here in central, florida, trump won sumpter county by nearly 70%. in the retirement community, the villages, republicans outnumber democrats 2 to 1. ♪ how are things at the villages these days? >> tense. >> has it always been so divisive in the villages? >> since trump. >> you know, all the people that hated obama have turned into trump supporters. my girlfriend is a big trump supporter. >> and you're still together? >> barely. i don't know if we're going to make it through the election. >> is there a political divide in the villages? do you feel it as trump supporters? >> we're golfers and i

a top trump advise we are a blistering takedown of trump's handling of the coronavirus. chris christie contracted coronavirus after spending hours in debate prep with the president and his team. almost everyone in that room got it. christie spent a week in the hospital and now released a statement saying, i believed when i entered the white house grounds that i had entered a safe zone due to the testing that i and many others underwent every day. i was wrong. i was wrong not to wear a mask at the amy coney barrett announcement. and i was wrong not to wear a mask at my multiple debate prep sessions with the president and the rest of the team. i hope that my experience shows my fellow citizens that you should follow cdc guidelines in public no matter where you are and wear a mask to protect yourself and others. it's a damning statement. chris christie, again, i want to emphasize, he spent seven days in the hospital with coronavirus. he now knows firsthand how serious the virus is. and what he's saying is the opposite of course of what we have heard day in and day out from

president trump doesn't care about facts. president trump doesn't care about the truth.doesn't listen to his experts. if trump gets another term, i think many alliances will be gone. and america will be alone. and that's a real, real problem. i absolutely disagree with the -- some of biden's policies, but that's not important. what's important is the united states. and i'm supporting joe biden. biden is a good man. donald trump is not. >> today the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, general mark milley, and other members of the joint chiefs are in quarantine. that's right, in quarantine for the first time in history after admiral charles ray, the vice commandant of the coast guard, tested positive for the coronavirus. joining our discussion now is someone who has served with michael hayden, former director of the cia, john brennan, author of the new book "undaunted: my fight against america's enemies at home and abroad." thank you very much for joining us tonight, mr. brennan. i want to get your reaction to michael hayden, who's a republican, making this decision and

they will be looking after trump. he will be around and some sort of formal or informal voice for a long time but you can be sure that right now there are people who have witnessed what trump is doing and has done and they recognize it for what it is and they are plotting their own how to become the next authoritarian leader they are social dominators and double highs and they say i'm a lot smarter than trump and trump may have been a good sheet in business getting by successfully but he has no knowledge of government he just doesn't understand how it works. he doesn't have a good newspaper knowledge of washington he has been a disaster and hasn't hired anybody who can tell him how it works and this has been his own handicap so only by learning the process and then the more dangerous he becomes and then the republican party has kept him in power because the base is so solid they are terrified of this 40 or 45 percent who he seems he can reach through the twitter account and direct them. mitch mcconnell to all of them,

it's not just donald trump it's what he represents, it's trump's america and trump's americans and then finally, how is this viewed in china? clearly the chinese communist party is not interested in telling a story about accountability at the ballot box to its own people, so the propaganda here is all about chaos and money and corruption, and the fact that the voting that-- democracy is basically kind of cynical lie, that it's a game in which the powerful and rich just ignore the real interests of the ordinary people and see their own selfish interests. the lesson from the propaganda machine says it doesn't matter who wins it's the same oligarchy and the individualism and individual rates and claims of elective legitimacy that america use toss criticize places like china, that covid is not just a public health disaster, it's a failure for democracy and as china tells us, it's success for one party system that it's performance legitimacy which gives you a mandate. the ability to keep your people safe, to mobilize and to organize. now, we can talk about covid in china, but that's true, be

donald trump panicked. [honking] unlike donald trump, we will not surrender to this virus. look, president trump is spreading division and discord. he thinks he can divide us. we won't notice his failures. that's what it's all about. that's why he shamelessly equates somali refugees, folks seeking a better life in america contributing to the state of our country with terrorists as he did last night. we need a president who will bring us together, not pull us apart. i will deal with this pandemic responsibly, bringing the country together around testing, tracing. masking. it's estimated by the leading doctors in this country that if we just wore a mask for the next few months, we would save over 100,000 lives of the over 200,000 lives we expect to lose. dr. fauci called for a mask mandate last week. this is not a political statement like those ugly folks over there beeping the horns. this is a patriotic duty, for god sake. [honking] look, in his own words, as i said, the president knew back in january how extremely dangerous and communicable this disease was. he went on and

people know who donald trump is. so, you know, we'll see which version of donald trump decides to show up at the next debate, but i can assure you that the version of joe biden that will show up is the same one who would be a leader in this country and who would be president and who one -- yeah. >> sorry. i wanted you to finish that point. go ahead. because i wanted to go on to another subject, so finish that thought. >> no, listening to steve there, there's a reason he can't name that name it's because it's a lie. absolutely a lie. this is what you do when you don't have a case to the people about why you should be re-elected. >> well, he had standing invite to come back. >> i look forward to that. >> the obama/biden transition relied on a partnership with the bush white house in the 2008 crisis. do you have a plan if the trump administration refuses to work with you after the election if you win? >> well, look, first and foremost we are focused on winning the election and reminding the people to turn out on novembe

trump: lock them all up. amy: it was trump's latest attack on michigan's governor -- whom he previously called "gretchen 'half' whitmer" and "that woman from michigan." governor whitmer fired back sunday morning on nbc's "meet the press." >> it is incredibly disturbing that the president of the united states 10 days after a plot to kidnap, put me on trial, and execute me -- 10 days after that wasn't covered, the president is at it again and inspiring and incentivizing and inciting this kindf dostic terrism. amy: last ursday, lice arreed 51-ye-old wisnsin resident brian higgins on charges he used night-vision goggles and a dashcam to surveil governor whitmer's vacation home. he was the 14th person arrested in the alleged plot to kidnap whitmer. in utah, federal prosecutors have indicted 21 self-avowed white supremacists on drug and weapons charges. their arrests came days after 24 alleged white supremacist prison gang members in kentucky, mississippi, and texas were indicted on charges of racketeering, illegal

of the trump resistance.ch provided an early indication of the passions his presidency would arouse and the divisions it would expose. it gives me hope for our future. it was a really dark day when the election results came in. it's not that we hate trump, but we hate what he stands for. bigotry and racism, we aren't going to stand for that. say it loud, say it clear. refugees are welcome here. donald trump's attempts to enforce a travel ban on a list of mainly muslim countries, including iran and syria, once again brought protesters out onto the streets. a policy that the trump administration claimed would defend america was seen by opponents as an attack on american values. build a wall! donald trump's efforts to build a wall along the mexican border, a totem of his presidency. it exposed more fault lines in american society. he campaigned on it. he won on it. what's the big deal? why is everybody surprised? we need it, we need it now. go back to your homes. he is a crisis. he is a crisis to our country and

donald trump insulted husband wife. he had the clearest opening to go at trump. nope. he's been a boot licker. they have all done it. marco rubio owe. yes, sir. let me play for you ron desantis doing the same. this is strump mocking his favorite governor in his new home state of florida. >> are we going to win the state, please? if we don't win it i'm blaming the governor. i'll fire him somehow. i will find a way. >> he then called matt gaetz repeatedly rick. he said he'll never love another politician. and trump doesn't even know his name. talk about what the landscape looks like. there's pstd. i don't care about the polls. they are worried there won't be another blue wave. give us the data. where do republicans stand electorally? >> i know nothing about q anon-. but i want to -- i think it's interesting what play that certain way it inkaps lates the environment we're in. he says behind closed doors what so many of us think he reams. and he feels. and it's part of why so many voters think washington is broken. they can't trust politicians. it's a perfect encapsulation
